Clock Workshop

Hello parents! We have some learning to fill you in on!

Writing: In writing we have been working on our opinion. We learned about different pets we could have in our classroom. We found facts about a goldfish and a guinea pig. Then we wrote our opinion on which type of animal would be a better pet for the classroom.

Math: In math we have been learning about clocks. We have been doing worksheets and playing games with clocks. In clocks we have been learning about the hour hand and minute hand. The numbers around the clock count by 5s. We have also been doing graphs and learning about data. We learned about mode and median. Last, we have been learning about money! We counted money and made different coin amounts. We decided how to spend out money when we had to buy items.

Science: We finished talking about mixtures and properties. This week we started talking about water! We learned there are different kinds of water like salt water, fresh water from polar ice caps and glaciers and fresh water from the ground. did you know 97% of the earths water is salt water? Only 3% of water is fresh for drinking.

Social Studies: We finished our unit about communities! We are going to start learning about maps.

Reading: The new strategy we are working on this week is inferring! To infer means to use what we already know. We can infer what a character is feeling based on their actions or expressions.

That’s what we have learned this week!
